Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 10 buns

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup tapioca flour, plus extra for kneading
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups Oaxaca cheese or other fresh white cheese, such as mozzarella, finely grated
2 large egg yolks
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream, if necessary
Pineapple Jalapeno Marmalade, recipe follows
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, strained
4 cups sugar
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the tapioca flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese and egg yolks. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out. Knead the dough with your hands until the dough is smooth, even-textured, and not sticky. If the dough doesn't come together or seems too stiff, then add cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together and feels supple.
  • Divide the dough into 10 even pieces and with your hands, roll each into a ball. Shape the balls into ovals and place them 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the rolls are pale gold (not browned), about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes and serve while still warm. Serve with Pineapple Marmalade, if desired.
  • Combine the pineapple, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice and jalapenos in medium saucepan.
  • Bring mixture to a rapid boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  • Remove from heat and cool before serving.
  • Store in refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for 6 months.

PAN DE YUCA (COLOMBIAN CHEESE BREAD)



Pan De Yuca (Colombian Cheese Bread) image

Another recipe I want to save before I try it. This recipe is said to be a very popular one in the Columbian city of Cali where the rolls can be purchased in most bakeries. It requires the purchase of yuca harina, or tapioca starch, somewhere that sells Latin American products. It sounds like it might be a bit like a cheesy unstuffed cream puff but....If you try it before I do, please let me know how it turned out. The recipe came from the December 1986 Bon Appetit and was sent in by a reader who got it from a Colombian friend. (The earlier spelling mistake in the title must be because I live in British Columbia, not British Colombia!)

PAN DE YUCA

Categories     Bread     Cheese     Dairy     Appetizer     Bake     Sugar Conscious     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes about 20 little rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup yuca flour
1 lb queso fresco, finely grated (about 4 cups)
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp whole milk
1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
Guava-Chile Butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, cheese, egg, baking powder, milk, butter, salt, and sugar in a bowl and knead them together until thoroughly mixed and fairly smooth. Form the dough into about 20 round balls. Bake the rolls on the baking sheet for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. To reheat, cover the bread loosely with aluminum foil and heat for 6 to 8 minutes in a 200°F oven.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yuca: Look for yuca that is firm and free of blemishes. The skin should be smooth and white, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Peel and grate the yuca: Use a sharp knife to peel the yuca, then grate it using a box grater or food processor. Grate the yuca finely, as this will help it to bind together better.
  • Add moisture: If the yuca mixture is too dry, add a little bit of water or milk until it reaches a dough-like consistency. You should be able to form the dough into balls without it crumbling.
  • Season the dough: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the dough. You can also add cheese, herbs, or vegetables for extra flavor.
  • Form the buns: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Place the balls on a greased baking sheet and flatten them slightly.
  • Bake the buns: Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Conclusion:

Yuca buns are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover yuca. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own yuca buns at home.
